Under the deal, Biden would plead guilty to 2 tax misdemeanors & enroll in the diversion program, …& avert prosecution on a gun charge.
But in the filing late Sun, Biden rebutted prosecutors’ claim, saying that he had signed the agreement in court last month & that he planned to abide by it.

Following the appointment of #Trump-appointed attorney #DavidWeiss as Special Counsel in the Hunter Biden probe Friday, House Republicans immediately issued statements blasting the decision.
A spokesperson for Rep. #JimJordan said they "don't believe [Weiss] can be trusted."»

Head of Investigation of #HunterBiden is Made a #SpecialCounsel
#AttorneyGeneral #MerrickGarland made the announcement, the latest development in a long-running inquiry into the actions of the president’s only living son.
Really ridiculous #bothsidesism & this isn’t “journalists” doing it, it’s the damn #DOJ & #AG caving to #RightWing #GOP pressure & gives their #ConspiracyTheories a whiff of legitimacy.
Idiotic.

While #MerrickGarland defends Boeing in the Murder of 346 people, he attempts to prosecute public criticism of #Ukraine:
"Yes, the Justice Department is seeking jail time for U.S. citizens for a number of “overt acts,” including that the U.S. citizens made “speeches expressing opposition to the U.S. involvement in the crisis in Ukraine and in solidarity with the people of Russia and their elected government and leadership.”

Where was #MerrickGarland? Working for Boeing:
"Justice Department attorneys were in New Orleans, Louisiana before the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals arguing, as were Boeing’s attorneys, that the family members of the 346 victims of the two Boeing 737 MAX crashes were not entitled to relief under the Crime Victims Rights Act."
